| abstractText | Inbreeding of 8 groups in molossinus mouse began in (Miura female x Urawa male) F1 (MU) from the stock captured in the Kanto district of Japan and were accomplished by each primiparous littermates. The animals were kept under a clean conventional condition at 23.5 +/- 2.5 degrees C and 50 +/- 5% in relative humidity. Pellet feed, CRF-1, and tap water were provided ad libitum. The respective number of inbreeding generations of MUA, MUF and MUG now exceeds F21, F20 and F22, respectively. Inbreeding of MUD and MUE have reached to F18 up to now, but the other 3 groups became extinct at F10. Time required for inbreeding from F0 to F20 was 2,280 days for MUA, 2,454 days for MUF and 2,143 days for MUG. Generation time was 114.0 +/- 47.2 days for MUA, 122.7 +/- 54.6 days for MUF and 107.2 +/- 48.5 days for MUG. Though the generation time varied from a minimum of 60 days to a maximum of 258 days from F0 to F10 in the inbreeding process (mean: 150.2 +/- 41.7 days), which were shortened from F10 and the mean was 79.0 +/- 29.1 days. In the breeding of the molossinus mouse, primiparous age was 124.5 +/- 29.7 days from F0 to F9 and 77.8 +/- 9.3 days from F10 to F19. The litter size was 5.1 +/- 1.3 for MUA and 5.0 +/- 1.3 for MUG in offspring, 5.0 +/- 1.2 and 4.9 +/- 1.2 in weanling, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
